What it solves

Steedos Platform (evolving into ObjectStack) addresses the inefficiency of manual software development and the rigidity of legacy low-code platforms. It eliminates the need to write boilerplate code or manually drag-and-drop components by using a metadata-driven architecture that allows AI to generate enterprise-grade applications instantly.

How it works

The system operates through a "trinity" of components:

• ObjectQL (The Protocol): A universal metadata language used to define data, logic, and UI, acting as the interface between AI and the software.
• ObjectOS (The Engine): A headless runtime kernel that handles APIs, authentication, permissions, and workflow automation.
• Object UI (The View): A schema-driven rendering engine based on React and Tailwind that transforms metadata into responsive user interfaces.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers and enterprises looking to build complex business applications (like CRM or ERP systems) using an AI-native, "text-to-app" approach rather than traditional coding or closed proprietary platforms.

Highlights

• AI Data Modeling: Converts text descriptions of business logic into standard schema files (*.object.yml).
• Generative UI: Dynamically renders interfaces from metadata (*.page.yml) using modern frontend tools like Shadcn and Tailwind.
• Database Agnostic: Supports deployment across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, or JSON files.
• Enterprise Security: Includes built-in Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) at the field level.
• Automated Workflows: Logic and triggers can be defined via YAML configurations or TypeScript functions.
